Tour de Nippon is organized by PAPERSKY, which operates a magazine and web media outlet under the concept of an "inflight magazine to be read on the ground."
It is a tour that lets you enjoy wonderful trips to discover the unique local charm of various regions across Japan using a bicycle as your tool.
SimWorks and Circles are participating as sponsors, providing cooperation through technical bicycle support and operational assistance.
This time, it's Niijima & Shikinejima!
Join a Ride Tour
I’ve participated in Tour de Nippon a few times now, and every single one has been an incredible experience.
I usually head out on my own and have a satisfying ride, but participating in a thoughtfully organized tour is a completely different experience.
Furthermore, this series—which combines PAPERSKY’s sense of style with the expertise of local municipalities and tourism organizations—is quite different from typical ride tours that just hit the standard spots. It’s easy to see why so many people are repeat participants.
The rides are easy enough for those who rarely ride a bike to join in. Since bicycle rentals are available, it might even be a good chance to invite your friends and pull them into the world of cycling (haha).

Izu Oshima is the go-to destination for cycling, but I experienced firsthand during a previous visit that Niijima is also incredible. It’s a paradise with stunning scenery and delicious food.
This time, we will also be touring Shikinejima, where you can't bring a bike. It’s shaping up to be a great trip to fully enjoy these remote islands through BIKE & HIKE.
I hope you can join us!
